Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for the order-dependent collection of containers at a collection location, comprising containers, a number of mutually parallel racks, each having, at a number of levels arranged above one another, juxtaposed storage positions for the containers, a guide system comprising horizontal longitudinal guides which extend in aisles between neighbouring racks at a number of levels parallel to the racks and horizontal transverse guides which extend transversely to the racks and adjoin the longitudinal guides, trolleys which can be displaced at different levels along the longitudinal guides and the transverse guides, each of which trolleys is provided with exchange means at least for transferring a container to a storage position and accepting a container from a storage position, a transport system for transporting containers from a trolley which is situated at an exchange location which forms part of the guide system to the collection location, in which the exchange location forms part of a row of exchange locations which are provided straight above one another at least over part of the levels, the transport system comprising a number of transfer members which are arranged straight above one another and are provided at the same levels as the exchange
  • Such a system is of the level-captive aisle roaming type and is described in International publication WO-A1-2016139003 .
  • the trolleys can, at a certain level, displace the containers from each storage position at the respective level to the lift.
  • each of the transfer members is designed as a transport member which takes a single product container. With such a system, it is important that there is a continuous supply of product containers to the collection location in order to be able to operate the system efficiently.
  • each of the transfer members is configured for temporarily accommodating at least two successive containers.
  • Each of the transfer members therefore has at least two accommodation positions for a container at at least two respective transfer positions of each transfer member and at least some of the exchange locations are of multiple design with a number of exchange positions, in which each exchange position extends next to a transfer position so as to be able to transfer a product container from a trolley at a transfer position to the transfer position situated next to the exchange position.
  • each exchange position extends next to a transfer position so as to be able to transfer a product container from a trolley at a transfer position to the transfer position situated next to the exchange position.
  • the lift may function as a sequencer as the lift can accept containers from transfer members at different levels in the desired order.
  • all exchange locations may be of multiple design.
  • the number of exchange positions of an exchange location may be equal to the number of transfer positions of the transfer member to which containers can be transferred from the respective exchange location.
  • Such conveyors may be, for example, roller conveyors, belt conveyors or combinations thereof.
  • each of the transfer members is configured for temporarily accommodating no more and no less than two successive containers.
  • the invention is particularly suitable, but not exclusively, to be used if the containers are product containers and a collection station is provided at the location of the collection location for collecting products in collection containers, also referred to as order containers, such as typically order boxes, from the product containers.
  • Product containers are containers for accommodating one product or a number of identical products.
  • product containers may also be provided with compartments, with each of the compartments accommodating one product or a number of identical products. The products in different compartments may differ from one another.
  • the collection station may be made relatively simple and small, as only a limited number of collection containers has to be available at the location of the collection station at the same time in order to be filled with products from the product containers.
  • the number of available collection containers which are present at the collection station may even be reduced to one.
  • a further possible embodiment of the system is characterized by the fact that the collection station is configured to accommodate only one collection container in which products from product containers supplied to the collection station can be placed.
  • a consolidation station for collecting the containers on a carrier to be provided at the location of the collection location.
  • the carriers may be designed, for example, as pallets, rolling containers or dollies.
  • the containers which are collected on the carriers may be both product containers and collection containers.
  • Consolidation it may also be very important to collect containers on a carrier in a certain order, for example if unloading the carrier has to take place in a specific order or in order to place relatively heavy containers at the bottom of the carrier. Consolidation may be effected manually, in a mechanised way or in a fully automated fashion.
  • the transport system is also configured to transport containers back from the collection location to an exchange location, to which end the transport system may comprise a further lift as well as a discharge conveyor which extends between the collection location and the further lift, and a number of further transfer members which are arranged straight above one another and which each extend between the further lift and an exchange location, in which the further lift is provided with a further carrying member which is configured for accepting a container from the discharge conveyor and for transferring the container to a further transfer member.
  • the transportation of the containers may be carried out in an efficient and effective way.
  • the system may be provided with a number of transport systems for transporting containers from trolleys at different exchange locations, which form part of different rows of exchange locations, to different collection locations.
  • Overcapacity of the system may be prevented by selecting the number of rows of exchange locations to be different from, for example smaller than, the number of aisles. In this case, it is also possible to adapt the capacity of the system by later increasing, or on the contrary decreasing, the number of rows of exchange locations.
  • the advantages of the invention are expressed in particular if the average number of trolleys per level is smaller than the number of aisles. In practice, the trolleys will then move from one aisle to another aisle at a certain level via a transverse guide.
  • the transverse guides are at least provided on head ends of the longitudinal guides facing the collection location. Supply and removal of trolleys to and from the exchange location may take place in the direct vicinity of the exchange location via the transverse guides. In addition, there may also be transverse guides on the opposite head ends of the longitudinal guides.
  • transverse guides it is also possible for the transverse guides to be at least provided between mutually opposite head ends of the longitudinal guides.
  • the system may be provided with a trolley lift for the trolleys.
  • This trolley lift may, for example, also be used to satisfy a temporarily increased capacity need at a certain level of the racks by moving one or a number of trolleys from another level to the respective level by means of the further lift.
  • the exchange locations are of multiple design in order to be able to transfer a container to the transfer member which is situated at the level of the respective multiple exchange location at at least two different accommodation positions.
  • the order in which containers are transferred from the exchange location to a transfer member does not have to be identical to the order in which containers are transferred from the transfer member to the lift.
  • the invention furthermore provides a method for the order-dependent collection of products from product containers in collection containers at a collection location, in which a system according to the invention as explained above is used and a collection station is provided at the location of the collection location.
  • the invention provides a method for the order-dependent collection of containers on carriers at a collection location, characterized in that a system according to the invention as explained above is used and a consolidation station is provided at the location of the collection location.
  • the above methods are methods in which a container is transferred from a trolley at an exchange position to a transfer position of a transfer member, which transfer position is situated between the carrying member of the lift and another transfer position of the transfer member, on which other transfer position a container is positioned.
  • a container is transferred from a trolley at an exchange position to a transfer position of a transfer member, which transfer position is situated between the carrying member of the lift and another transfer position of the transfer member, on which other transfer position a container is positioned.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 relate to a collection system 1 according to the invention.
  • the collection system 1 is configured for the order-dependent collection of products at the location of collection station 21, also referred to as order-picking station.
  • products are taken out of product containers 2 by an operator 22 and placed in collection containers 3.
  • the orders are entered into a control system which controls the collection system 1.
  • the product containers 2 and the collection containers 3 are designed as boxes, but may also be designed differently. Thus, for example, the collection containers 3 may also be designed as trays or as a cardboard box.
  • Each product container 2 contains one product or a number of identical products. It may also be the case that the product containers 2 have compartments, in which case each compartment may contain one product or a number of identical products, but with the different compartments containing different products.
  • the collection system 1 comprises a number of racks 4 for storing the product containers 2.
  • the racks 4 extend parallel to each other and, on the mutually facing sides, comprise juxtaposed storage positions 9 for the product containers 2.
  • the storage positions 9 are provided on seven levels 5 arranged above one another.
  • the storage positions 9 may be formed, for example, by bearing rims on which bottom edges of the box-shaped product containers 2 can rest.
  • longitudinal guides 7 are provided on each level 5 which extend parallel to the neighbouring racks 4.
  • the longitudinal guides 7 extend along the entire length of the racks 4.
  • the longitudinal guides 7 may, for example, be designed as rails.
  • transverse guides 15 are furthermore provided on each level 5.
  • the transverse guides 15 adjoin the ends of the longitudinal guides 7 and extend at right angles thereto. Not on all, but on at least one level 5, for example on one of the five levels 5, it is possible to provide a floor at the location of the longitudinal guides 7 and the transverse guides 15, over which floor an operator can walk for the purpose of maintenance.
  • Collection system 1 further comprises a number of trolleys 8, also referred to as shuttles, which are displaceable along the storage positions of the two neighbouring racks 4 on the respective level 5 via the longitudinal guides 7 and the transverse guide 15.
  • trolleys 8 are known per se, for example from International publication WO-A1-2016010429 .
  • the trolleys 8 can be displaced from one aisle 6 to another aisle 6 via the transverse guide 15.
  • the trolleys 8 each comprise running wheels, at least two of which may be driven by means of an electrical and wirelessly controlled drive system (not shown in any more detail) with which trolley 8 is provided. During the displacement, the running wheels, or at least some of them, run over a longitudinal guide 7 or over a transverse guide 15. Trolleys 8 may additionally be provided with guide wheels which are rotatable about vertical rotation axles which may cooperate in a guiding manner with the transverse guides 15 and the longitudinal guides 7 or with separate guides.
  • Each of the trolleys 8 furthermore comprises two arms 10 which are extendable in two opposite directions to a storage position 9.
  • Arms 10 are each provided with an endless support belt 11 which is wound around two deflector rollers 12, at least one of which can be rotationally driven by the electrical drive system of trolley 8.
  • trolley 8 By moving to a storage position 9, trolley 8, by means of arms 10, can either transfer a product container 2 resting on the top revolution of belts 11 to a storage position 9, or accept a product container 2 from a storage position 9.
  • arms 10 with support belts 11 which support the product containers 2 telescopic arms which can reach along the product containers 2 and can push the product containers 2 in a storage position 9 or pull them from a storage position 9 by means of foldable fingers.
  • arms 10 with support belts 11 one or a number of lifting spoons which can be extended underneath a product container 2.
  • an exchange location 16 is provided on each level 5 which adjoins the transverse guide 15 on the respective level 15.
  • the exchange locations 16 at the different levels 5 form a vertical row of exchange locations.
  • a trolley 8 can reach the exchange location 16 via the transverse guide in order to temporarily remain there without being in the way of other trolleys 8 which move over the transverse guide 15.
  • the collection system 1 comprises a transport system 31.
  • the transport system 31 comprises a row of transfer members which are designed as conveyors 32.
  • a conveyor 32 is provided for each level 5.
  • the transport system 31 furthermore comprises a lift 33 with a mast 34 along which a carrying member 35 can move.
  • the conveyors 32 extend between an exchange location 16 and the lift 33, more specifically between an exchange location 16 and a position where the carrying member 35 of lift 33 can be positioned.
  • the length direction of the conveyors 32 extends parallel to the longitudinal guides 7 and in the present illustrative embodiment the former are designed as a driven roller conveyor 32a on the side of the exchange location 16 and as a driven belt conveyor 32b on the side of the lift. Conveyors 32 could, for example, also be designed as roller conveyors along their entire length.
  • the carrying member 35 of lift 33 is likewise designed as a belt conveyor and is situated in line with belt conveyor 32b. In this way, the conveyors 32 are suitable to accept product containers 2 from a trolley 8 at an exchange location 16 by driving support belts 11 in order then to transport the product containers 2 to a carrying member 35 and to transfer product containers 2 to a carrying member 35.
  • the length of the conveyors 32 is such that five product containers 2 can simultaneously be present at five transfer positions of a conveyor 32. In many situations, a significant advantage may already be achieved if the length of the conveyors 32 is such that two product containers 2 can simultaneously be present on the conveyors 32. Thus, such a conveyor 32 would then have two transfer positions.
  • the transport system 31 comprises a supply conveyor 36 which extends in line with the conveyor 32 at the bottom level 5 and adjoins the carrying member 35 if the latter is situated at the bottom level 5.
  • Each of the transverse guides 15 is thus situated between the exchange location 16 at the respective level 5 and the longitudinal guides 7 at the respective level.
  • Supply conveyor 36 is designed as a belt conveyor and, in the selected illustrative embodiment, provides room for seven product containers 2 which the supply conveyor, in use, accepts from the carrying member 35.
  • the length of the supply conveyor may also be greater, for example sufficiently large to provide room for ten product containers.
  • Supply conveyor 36 terminates at the collection station 21.
  • the collection system 1 also comprises a transport system 41 provided for collection containers 3. By means of this transport system 41, empty or partially filled collection containers 3 are transported to the collection station 21. Depending on the orders received, the operator 22 there fills a collection container 3 with products which the operator takes from a product container 2 which is situated at the collection station 21.
  • Transport system 31 is further configured to transport product containers 2 from the collection station 21 back to an exchange location 16 again. More specifically, the transport system 31 to this end comprises conveyors 37 and 38 which perpendicularly adjoin each other at the bottom level 5, a carrying member 39 which can be displaced upwards and downwards along mast 34, in a similar fashion to carrying member 35, and a vertical row of further transfer members 40 which are of a design which is similar to that of transfer members 32 and are able to transfer product containers 2 to a trolley at an exchange location 16.
  • the exchange locations 11 of the system according to the invention are of multiple design, which is to say having at least two exchange positions, so that each exchange location extends along at least two of the transfer positions, preferably all transfer positions, on the respective conveyors 32 on which product containers 2 may be positioned.
  • a trolley 8 may transfer product containers 2 to different transfer positions of the conveyor 32 from the respective exchange positions of an exchange location 11. In this way, it is possible to influence the order in which product containers 2 are supplied to carrying member 35 and thus to collection station 21 on conveyors 32.
  • the longitudinal guides associated with the exchange locations 11 to this end extend up to mast 34. Contrary to what is shown in Figs.
  • conveyor 32 may also be designed to have, instead of a belt conveyor 32b, a roller conveyor, such as roller conveyor 32a, for each transfer position on belt conveyor 32b.
  • roller conveyors associated with a conveyor 32 may be designed to be drivable both individually and collectively.
  • the use of at least two transfer positions per transfer location has the advantage that less stringent requirements can be made on the order in which product containers 2 are successively supplied to the conveyors 32, as a result of which the trolleys 8, and thus the system 1 in its entirety, may be used more efficiently.
  • exchange locations each having at least two exchange positions, next to each of which exchange positions a transfer position is provided, it is possible for the order in which product containers are transferred from a trolley at an exchange location to a conveyor 32 to deviate from the order in which these product containers are transferred to a lift 33 by the conveyor 32.
  • the configuration of the collection system 1 as described above makes it possible to ensure with a high degree of certainty that the product containers 2 desired in the light of received orders arrive at the collection station 21 in a desired order and at a desired time. Due to the use of transfer members 32 which are each able to accommodate more than one, in this example five, product containers 2 at five transfer positions of the respective transfer member 32, the speed at which trolleys 8 can collect product containers 2 from a storage position 9 will not be a bottleneck in practice, or at least will not have to be one, and the number of trolleys 8 which forms part of the collection system 1 can be relatively small.
  • transverse guides at the ends of the longitudinal guides 7 situated opposite the collection station 21 and/or to provide transverse guides between the ends of the longitudinal guides 7 instead of transverse guides 15 or in combination with transverse guides 15, in which case the transverse guides would intersect the longitudinal guides 7.
  • the invention has been explained by means of the description of a collection system 1 which uses a collection station 21.
  • the invention may also be used advantageously if a consolidation station is used instead of a collection station where products from product containers are collected in collection containers.
  • the containers which are supplied by a transport system 31, are collected on a carrier.
  • the consolidation station may, for example, be designed as a palletising station where product containers and/or collection containers originating from a storage position 9 are stacked on a pallet.
